Which of these energy changes takes place in a solar cell?

A.Heat energy to light energy
B.Light energy to electrical energy
C.Electrical energy to heat energy
D.Thermal energy to electrical energy
C?

its litterly none of those

The correct answer is B. Light energy to electrical energy.

To understand why, let's break down the options and analyze each one:

A. Heat energy to light energy: This is not applicable to a solar cell. Solar cells convert light energy, not heat energy, into electrical energy.

B. Light energy to electrical energy: This is the correct answer. Solar cells are designed to capture sunlight and convert it directly into electrical energy through a process called the photovoltaic effect.

C. Electrical energy to heat energy: This is not applicable to a solar cell as its purpose is to convert light energy into electrical energy, not the other way around.

D. Thermal energy to electrical energy: This is also not applicable to a solar cell. Thermal energy refers to heat energy, while solar cells rely on converting light energy into electrical energy.

In conclusion, a solar cell converts light energy to electrical energy, making option B, "Light energy to electrical energy," the correct answer.

Can you explaiN?

A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.

...B is correct

C is correct, however, B is better.
